The education is also very different to run a business in this rapidly changing digital environment. So if I had to start my blog over again from scratch the with none of the existing resources, this is how I would allocate my time and budget.

If I have to start a new blog again, knowing what I know after over all those years.mistakes I made. the following is what I would probably do I will start blogging again from the scratch.

My overall goal, by the way, is the quick loading of my blog. This is the core reason, which makes people stay on the blog. So let’s see what I exactly would invest in again!

Things I Do If I Had to Start My Blog From the Scratch

Since here we are talking about blogging, or I can say online business. The majority of the people jump into what systems and tech tools make our blogging fly on the web. What’s great is that most of these are very affordable.

#1. Domain Name

The very first thing I would do if I had to start a blog all over again from scratch is an investment in picking up a different domain name. Somewhat like generic domain names. So that the blog I re-create won’t restrict myself to talk about some specific things and topics.

I will focus on a domain name, which not proves to be a road-blocker for me. But before I pick any domain, I will make sure few things. That domain can also help me to expand my reach in the future. And if it is about choosing a name for my blog I would like to go for a .com TLD. As I am a big fan of it.

Even after that, there are lot more of TLDs. But as I said earlier I love .com TLD which again won’t restrict myself to reach more global audience.

Pro Tip: Every time a site itself with a .com TLD goes up .As this is good for branding and SEO of course.

#2. Host

The second thing is that I would choose a high-quality web hosting.

While picking up the best rated web hosting companies, there are plenty of options available. But few things keeping in my mind I will choose that web hosting company which has excellent reputation in the online market, specialized provider and few more such things.

Also, I will like to go for a hosting service that allows me to include more than just one domain in a single account. So when I want to start any new blog that time, I can use the same host rather than having one more paid hosting account.

The core and most important thing I will pick the best hosting service which will also help to reduce the page load time of my blog.

And if it is a question about hosting plan I would go for the web hosting service, which is reliable. Like 100% uptime, great support, using advanced technologies and lot more.

Also, it should be flexible, so when my blog grows bigger, I should easily upgrade to a better plan in the future.

#3. Niche

I am satisfied with blog niche I am blogging about right now. But if I have to start my blogging journey again, I will still like to go with the same niche. Just because I love to write about blogging, WordPress, Social Media Marketing, and numbers of ways to make money online.

#4. Blog Platform

After selecting a Domain name, hosting, and blogging niche, now it’s time to start blogging again. As a blogging platform, I will pick WordPress CMS. There are many other options available like Weebly, Wix, Squarespace and few more. But I still do believe that WordPress is the platform of choice for those who are serious business owners.

Another thing is that with WordPress is most Search Engine Friendly CMS. I can install many of add-ons to have the precise functionality. I can specify awesome look without compromising the original style. Plus, this platform is open source software, which means that I am not at the mercy of one particular company if ever they make their mind up to stop developing the code.

Right now I’m using the same platform. With WordPress, I can label my posts with different categories. Another thing I will not forget that to install a WordPress because there is a growing community of designers and developers who are continuously building new themes WordPress CMS users. That means I can tap into a current look and feel for my blog or even I can go with something entirely custom.

#5. Blog Theme

I would ensure that I choose a readymade theme from ThemeForest, which is search engine friendly. Benefit for picking up a paid WordPress theme is getting more options to make my blog more user-friendly and search engine friendly too.

#6. Blog More

This one of an essential thing that I would love to do is blog every day. This would help to attract more audience and even search engines. In result, I will get more engagement on my blog and ranking of my blog in major search engines like Google will also improve. In result, I will have hell amount of traffic to my blog.

#7. Offer Exciting Service To Build Loyal Audience
